director of the millennium

"The matter of purchasing a private jet must be put on the agenda." Wu Yuan said angrily while sitting in the car on the way home.

For big stars like him and Liu Yifei, flight records are almost transparent.

Although major airlines always say that they will protect the privacy of their customers and will never leak flight information, in fact, the flight information of celebrities is basically an open secret on the Internet.

Who leaked the information?

Most of them are internal staff of major airlines.

These workers are partly in it for the money; after all, reselling celebrity flight information can be lucrative.

But there are also a small number of real fans of these stars, and they are fanatical fans at that, and they leak flight information to their own fan clubs.

This type of fans are the most difficult to deal with. Even if major airlines have repeatedly banned them, they cannot stop them from risking their lives for "love".

The only reliable way to prevent such flight privacy leaks is to take a private plane.

Although private jets must apply for routes and report passenger information according to regulations, this does not need to go through the airline system. It is directly connected with the civil aviation department, and the number of people who know the news will be much fewer.

No matter what industry you are in, the truth that the fewer people who know about it, the easier it is to keep a secret is never wrong.

However, Wu Yuan thought again, it is already February 2019, and the global epidemic will hit in less than a year.

By that time, even if he had a private jet, he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to take it.

At least we will have to stay at home for most of 2020.

Moreover, the Wu family will soon be welcoming a newborn baby. For the safety of the child, he will definitely have to return to his family in the next two or three years, stop working and stay at home to take precautions.

Liu Yifei will probably take a three-year break from work like Liu Shishi, who got pregnant four months earlier than her, and will resume work in 2022.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no need to rush about the private jet.

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer." Wu Yuan muttered again quickly.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to him, watched her husband change his mind again and again in a very short period of time, and said with some amusement: "They say women are fickle, but I think men are more fickle."

Faced with Liu Yifei's teasing, Wu Yuan didn't know how to explain his mental journey to her. After all, these were things that had not yet happened.

"Yes, yes, I am so fickle. It's really hard for you to marry such a fickle husband."

"Hey, speaking of fickleness." Wu Yuan stroked his chin with his hand and continued, "What do you think about me making another movie this year?"

"After all, we won't have time to work after the baby is born. We will have to stop working for at least a year or two."

As I said before, the timing of the birth of this child by Wu Yuan and his wife was indeed very clever.

It is reasonable for the couple to stop working completely after the child is born to take care of the child, and will not return to work until around 2022.

Liu Yifei is fine. There is news that she won the Best Actress Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for "Cai Wenji". In addition, this art film is expected to be broadcast in the first half of the year.

Even if she does not have any other new works released in the next one or two years, her popularity and influence will remain at the top and she will not be easily replaced by other actresses.

But Wu Yuan didn't want to rest so early.

After all, it’s only February now, and there are still 2 months until the end of the year. It’s definitely too late to release a new movie in such a short time, but it’s enough time to shoot a movie.

Just because a movie has been shot doesn't mean it needs to be released immediately.

For example, Wu Ershan's "Fengshen Trilogy" started filming on August 8 last year and is still in production. It is expected to be officially completed in January 27.

His "Fengshen Trilogy" is most famous for its long production cycle, besides its reported cost of 30 billion yuan.

Not only did the filming take 438 days, but it was not broadcast until July 2023, taking a full five years from the start of filming to the release.

The main reason is that it was affected by the epidemic and it was not released until the film and television industry recovered.

Wu Yuan certainly doesn't want to make a big move like "Fengshen Trilogy". Although he is very rich now, he is not as wealthy as Alibaba and can't withstand such a long production cycle.

He just wanted to make an award-winning movie.

Yes, after attending this year's Berlin International Film Festival, and especially after meeting many European film critics and filmmakers at the festival who talked to him about their experiences in shooting art films, and expressed their feelings that he would not make art films and that the world film art field would lose a treasure, Wu Yuan's heart for art began to stir.

To be honest, the director has already reached the top of the pyramid with what he has achieved, and he doesn't need to pursue box office results anymore.

After all, his career box office performance has long been ranked first in Asia, and it is a number that is probably difficult for any later comer to surpass. Even if Guo Fan makes five "The Wandering Earth" films, he is unlikely to surpass Wu Yuan in terms of total box office.

In this case, if Wu Yuan wants to make a movie again, he can actually do as he pleases without having to consider things like the market or business.

He can now shoot some of the films that he had always wanted to make but had always put on hold due to various filming plans.

Yes, I'm talking about the "Bruce Lee" movie that Wu Yuan had been thinking about for many years, but it always remained just a paper plan.

"Xixi, what do you think about me making a biographical film?" Wu Yuan asked Liu Yifei expectantly.

"Biographical film?" Liu Yifei frowned her pretty eyebrows, and after a few seconds she suddenly realized, "Is it the Bruce Lee movie you always mentioned?"

"I remember that you wanted to make a biographical movie about Bruce Lee since you were filming Pirates of the Caribbean 3."

"At that time, you also told Brother Cheng Long that you hoped he could also join the film."

“As a result, it has not been filmed until now.”

"Yeah." Wu Yuan smacked his lips and sighed, "In the past few years, we have been busy exploring the commercial market. This kind of unsellable biographical film has only remained in the realm of words."

"But now it's different. I have no shortage of money, status, popularity, or influence. It's time to make the movies I want to make."

"Before the baby is born, it's time to fulfill this dream that I have always wanted to realize."

"Yeah." Liu Yifei leaned on Wu Yuan's shoulder obediently and held his arm. "If you want to shoot, then go ahead. Do you want to participate in the Berlin Film Festival next year?"

"Let's talk about it after the filming is finished." Wu Yuan smiled helplessly.

Attending next year's Berlin Film Festival?

Can I go abroad in the first half of next year?

Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back once you leave?! (End of this chapter)
